What you need to know: The Body Shop Shea Bath and Shower Cream

We like:
The Community Trade shea butter; the anti-animal testing stance; the moisturising properties
We don't like:
The overload of fragrance ingredients; that it doesn't make you feel sparkling, shiny clean
SmartPlanet judgement:
We're starting to get used to the fact that The Body Shop uses some dubious ingredients in its products (in this case fragrance ingredients), but except for that this bath and shower cream is everything we would expect from a Body Shop product: well-performing, quite a few ethical credentials and some natural ingredients. It's not overly impressive, but it is a very good mainstream product.

We like how it makes our face feel smooth, but we don't like how strongly it smells -- and while the organic ingredients are incredibly attractive the price tag isn't

We are incredibly impressed with the quality and Aveda's green track-record -- only a few, slightly finicky things prevent this shampoo from being perfect
